I'm working on an application (Visual C++, MFC, Windows NT/2000/XP) which can be run on a pen tablet computer or a desktop computer. I'd like to detect whether a keyboard is connected or not.
How can I detect the physical presence of a keyboard ? Since the BIOS can tell us if there is no keyboard, this should be possible. The associated information available on the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) layer of Windows don't seem reliable...

I just set up a domain controller and some clients. Now, whenever a client logs on, I want a VBscript to be run ON THE SERVER. At first, I created the VBscript file as a Windows Login script and put it into the NETLOGON folder so that it will be run whenever a client logs on.
However, I realize that this script, although residing on the server, is running WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE CLIENT. In other words, the script is executed as if it were located on the client.
This is definitely a problem because the purpose of my script is to retrieve system info from the client and then writing that to a database on the server. In reality, when the script executes, it tries to write the data to the database on the client, which does not exist!

I don't know if the post belongs here. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for this problem.
I have a Web Server running on my machine.
When I start the machine everything works great for about 20-30 minutes.
Then something fails.
When I open the server c# project in the Visual Studio I get this error message:
The Web server reported the following error when attampting to create or open the Web project located at the following URL: 'http://localhost/Project'. 'HTTP:/1.1 500 Server Error.
If I try to get to http://localhost/Project/ I get this error message:
Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced.
Has anyoone seen this?
Why oh why would it work for a while and then fail 
The only way I know to continue working is to restart the machine - royal pain in the neck.
My virus files are all updated and the machine gets scanned once a week.
P.S. OS is WinXP

Hi, I have a problem with Internet Explorer. I can't change the start page because the field and the buttons are read-only. I don't know why. My OS is Windows XP, I'm dawned with Windows Update and I have administrator privilege. I think that the problem began when I installed Norton Antivirus.
Can you help me ?
Thank you very much for any answers.

This problem might be cause by a virus call backdoor.trojan. the computer at might work place is affect with this kind of the virus. But it is not disable with the startpage text box and the button. It make a change in the registry key and it always start when your computer is turn on. The best solution is check the name of the virus and find an instruction how to delete it from your computer.
Note: some user privilege might change these setting too. Try to check your computer security policies... and another importance places.

Is there a max file size for any file in the more recent versions of Windows?
Freiheit ist von Gott, Freiheiten vom Teufel.

Of course. It is at most 2^63, the size of a signed long long. I wouldn't be surprized if it was lower though.
(Note that 2^63 is bigger than and RAID system out there, and it wouldn't surprize me if it is bigger than all the storage on earth, though I have no way of examining that.)

What is the difference between a hub and switch?
How can do a network through this?

A hub gets a message, and fans it out to everyone, a switch is much more intelligent. A switch starts reading a packet before it is all in, and as soon as it knows where to send it, sends to only to that port.
A switch allows you to have have more than one computer on the network talking at once, so long as they are not talking to the same device. (in some cases they can talk to each other, in others not) Second, you can mix speeds. This is a great speed increase where it works. (in the real world everyone is talking to just a couple machines)

A hub is a networking device which just connects multiple computers together for them to see each other in a network. However, Hubs causes too much collision. A switch, is better than a HUB. An anology for this is like a highway with no other cars rather than your own car. Their will be zero collisions when setting up a network using a switch.

i think hub is a layer1 device, while switch is above layer1 ie L2 or above

Sir,
I am trying to find a unique machine of the computers listed in my network.
I can do it in 2 ways:By obtaining
1.IPAddress
2.MAC Address
Since IPAddress is subject to change and MAC address changes if there is change in the hardware configuration.
So the only way is to create a GUID of that machine.
The question is how one should go about in creating GUID.
I mean what are the functions should I use?
Is there any API?
I know that 2 utilities like GuidGen.exe and uuidGen.exe create unique GUIDS.
Pls guide
Regards

I've seen this posted here before, but it's been a long time and I can't find the reference. My server keeps creating a file named ~ on the desktop. I delete it, but it comes back daily. What the heck is it, and how do I make it go away?
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Even on my deskop theres a file created ~.May be its related when u install a patch.
Can any expert throw light on this.

I think it is related to Outlook Express creating a temporary file. It wants to do so in some folder that either doesn't exist or it fails for some reason. It then fail safe saves to the desktop folder. This is all off the top of my head from 6 months ago with Windows 98 and Outlook Express.

You nailed it - OE6 attempts to make a backup of the address book every time you edit an entry there. In the original installation this worked perfectly, but a later "update" broke it. I found a Knowledge Base article about it using Google (MS' search engine can't find it), and I believe it said that this only affects systems running Win2K or WinXP. There is a patch available, but only if you call and beg for it. MS recommends that you not delete the file (in case you should need it), and wait for the next update which will address the problem. For the moment it's a trivial annoyance, cluttering the desktop but not really interfering with anything... I'll wait.
